If either of you two ever find that some of your underwear goes missing, you know who's to blame.

Ah, I remember figuring out how telescopes worked some 10 years ago.
If only those were 40mm objective swarowski binoculars but with the same price tag...

What kind of celestial objects can you observe with these binoculars?
Can you see Saturn's rings? Big nebulas? The ISS?
I don't have big experience in optics but 10x Magnification and 50mm objective lens doesn't seem very impressive to me.

10 or 7 x 50 are the binos of choice for most astronomers.
Satellites, the ISS, constellations, bright comets and a few variable stars etc are usually all within reach - but they wont be a replacement of a good telescope. Binoculars are good for the general big picture - just like the naked eye is best for observing meteors.
